Lightweight alpaca beanie in a classic shape

The CHMURKA style has a smooth stitch, no turn-up cuff and a slightly extended back, so it sits softly and keeps a simple, everyday look. The medium pink shade in a warm pink tone, together with the delicate halo on the surface, gives this alpaca beanie a calm, gentle appearance. A good option if you are looking for a handmade beanie for in-between seasons that does not feel bulky.

• Composition: 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool – the blend of natural fibre and added fibres creates a lightweight, practical knit for cooler days.
• Thin and lightweight construction – useful when you want a warm women’s beanie for walks, city wear and everyday use, but without a thick layer.
• Beanie without a cuff – it sits more softly and covers the forehead less than styles with a wide turn-up.
• Delicate halo and smooth stitch – the overall look is subtle, so it can also work as a more elegant winter hat in a lighter, transitional version.
• Next to skin: may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin – worth noting if you are looking for a wool beanie without the risk of sensory discomfort.
• Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, it is worth expecting natural signs of use.
